What the fuck is wrong with those people and their fetish with Discord? It’s not a forum, it’s a fucking chat platform where you have to pay for fucking emojis!
Removed by mod
I like the continued migrations from Reddit but Discord doesn’t seem like the best destination
Yeah, to be truly useful, a community needs to be googleable. And discord is certainly not that.
That, and the conversations move far faster there. Any remark about anything moves the subject further up, and you’re essentially subjected to reading the comments section of the entire sub all at once when you just came for the memes.
Holding a conversation in such a large place would be near impossible from experience, no matter how many channels there are. It’s just not going to be pleasant because it’s not made for what they want to do.
I’m very tech-literate but Discord has always seemed so fucking messy to me. So many channels and emojis and I barely know how to send someone a DM or add them to my friends list or whatever. How on earth are you supposed to keep track of anything?
Just a giant chat room, nothing permanent
Discord isn’t a good alternative, it’s not the same type of social media site. Discord is more of a chatroom aggregator, while Reddit is more of a forum aggregator. While Reddit technically supports chats and Discord technically supports threads, in both cases they’re clunky and not the main point of the site.
It’s also centralized corporate-controlled trash, just like Reddit. I, for one, don’t see the point in swapping one abusive overlord for another abusive overlord.
Discord is even worse, all the information there is locked behind a walled garten. No access without account, no way to google shit. I hate Discord, lol
If people thought that Reddit’s search was bad, they have quite the surprise waiting on discord!
That’s like getting kicked out of the home you grew up with to moving in permanently at a hotel, instead of getting your own home…
Yep that’s me… my name is Earl.
I rewatched that entire series earlier this year. It’s a shame it got cancelled.
That two part cops episode is a gem.
It’s like you and your friends getting kicked out of a restaurant and then deciding to hang out at a shoe store instead of just finding a different restaurant…
Discord is nothing like reddit/lemmy/kbin.
No ur just crashing on a relative’s house
Discord even with forums category is not meant for discover new content and search.
Discord is a black hole of information. Unindexable, unscrapable, borderline unsearchable.
I don’t think discord is the way forward. Lemmy on web is awesome but the app on mobile needs a lot of work to be remotely good.
I go to Discord for very different reasons than to Lemmy/Reddit. Lemmy allows any arbitrary number of parallel dicussions on specific topics, the same cannot be said for what’s essentially a bundle of chat rooms.
There are already multiple mobile clients in development and they made quite huge jumps already.
I’m currently using connect on Android, but also Jerboa saw massive development progress - although I would wish, they would test their updates more, because there seemed to be always some kind of regression.
But didn’t try it for some time now, maybe this already changed
Someone tell these hot boys about lemmy
It’s /r/malefashionadvice.
So nothing has been lost.
If a bunch of 20-somehtigns wish to get advice from another bunch of self-important 20-somethings on what to wear they may as well fuck off to the moon for all I care.
Maybe I missed something, but what’s wrong with guys talking about fashion for those that are interested in it? I’m not that into it myself, but I don’t see why it would illicit this kind of a response?
As someone who didn’t have disposable income until I was in my thirties, I had a lot of catching up to do and the people there helped me out a lot.
Discord? Yuck.
This is how social media sites die. Not with big protests, but people and communities quietly moving away. Reddit won’t die at once in an explosion; it will be a slow, quiet process. Same with Twitter.
Exactly.
The protest wasn’t supposed to be about causing problems, it was supposed to be about making a point. That’s what people who opposed the protests never understood. Including Reddit.
They kept saying “oh it’ll calm down and then everyone will come back to the site”, well, it did calm down, but only because people decided they couldn’t be bothered with them anymore. Since there were always other options, people went there. (God only knows why that didn’t occur to the likes of Spez)
‘We started as a unique service and people flocked towards us when digg died. It won’t happen again, as there is no alternative.’
He only forgot that when there is no alternative that is exactly what a company offers, people will either crate one or find something else that’s either good enough or even better. Companies don’t die because they do stupid things, they die because the users/customers are fed up with them. Just look at the banks, where people withdraw their cash and leave, digg that caused an exodus to reddit, Reddit exodus to kbin/lemmy and now even Discord.
When I look at R/CSRRacing2, the main contributer went almost silent after half june, the place to be now is one of the 2 discord servers. (even though I created !csrracing2@lemmy.world , which is totally quiet) The DIscord servers for that game totally embraced the forum function for the event info, but chat is used for the immediate questions. Biggest advantage, getting the same question over and ver isn’t to bad, as they scroll out of the window fast enough. ;)
To loosely quote Jean Rasczak: “You’re it, until you’re dead or I find someone better.”
I’m currently reading Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. There’s a part about fiction where tell about how corporations and even nations are basically fiction. They only exist, because enough people believe in them. If people stop believing in them, their right to exist seizes to exist.
Nations are a way to determine which area each ‘tribe’ has and usually combined smaller tribes to a larger one.
I don’t think getting rid of nations will limit the battles between them, I guess you’ll get more as smaller tribes will warr between each other.
Corporations however, I think we can do without the huge ones. ;)
Why not Lemmy instead?
A lot of people already use Discord. If you try to get people to move to Lemmy, the vast majority of them won’t bother, and then you just have a version of reddit with about twelve people on it. Reddit thrives on scale and collective knowledge. If you’re going to have a small community with three digits’ worth of people, a chat service is the place to do it.
I’m part of a couple of private men’s style discords… one of them is a great, small-but-not-too-small community, and the conversation is much better than anything that went on on /r/malefashionadvice.
For what it’s worth, I’d still be happy to see @malefashionadvice or @malefashionadvice take off, but they’re both dead, as is.
Discord is such a terrible platform for large scale communication.
Nothing pisses me off more than looking for a support link and being told you have to go to a discord. It’s terrible to search, generally requires a bunch of hoops to jump through verifying you’re not a bot and almost never has the info you’re looking for anyways.
Plus Discord is a shitty company removing features from paid users (custom tags) and forcing changes to be more like Twitter.

Discord is great for making servers for friends. That’s about where my use of it ends.
